In 2014, the Japan America Society of Southern California's Women's Leadership Counts Initiative was created as a first-of-its-kind initiative to provide a platform for women in business on both sides of the Pacific to engage in professional and leadership development.

Together with our partner organizations, business executives and community leaders, the Women's Leadership Counts Initiative will create a network that inspires action and moves the needle on women's leadership. It will also provide unparalleled opportunities to connect with current and future leaders.

2015 seminar will bring together influential leaders from Japan and the U.S. to address the key factors and share the challenges that have contributed to their personal and business success. You will gain the insights into your strengths and learn how to take your leadership potential to the next level. The networking reception will provide opportunities to connect with speakers and attendees from a broad range of industries.

Who Should AttendCurrent and future corporate, business, academic, non-profit and entrepreneurial women and men leaders who value the U.S-Japan collaboration and wish to expand their networks.

Women’s Leadership Counts Initiative is made possible in part by a generous JAS Initiative grant from The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.
